Just another daily update
Canton County should finish phase 1 of the map designing process within the next few days. Which is just the general placement of buildings, and layout of the map. Phase 2 is where I go back over, and figure out where all the emergency locations will be, start adding the interiors. Phase 3 will be polishing the map, and optimization
My vision I had of the map has been constantly evolving throughout the last week, and I feel I really nailed the rural atmosphere I was going for. Once Canton County is polished enough for a public default release, I will be able to move onto finishing the city map up. Keep in mind both of these maps will be getting more, and more emergencies added to them as time goes on.
As for the actual firemen update it is nearing completion. I estimate I should have it out on the default branch within the next few weeks. The Testing Branch will be updated as I go.
Next devblog I do will be showing off the Tiller, and Federal in Action. I do not have an ETA of when that will be. We are taking our time with this update as this is going to mark a new era for ITF. I plan on moving the game to alpha status in a few months as well once all the base systems are complete.
An early version of Canton County + City is on the testing branch now. The purpose is to allow you guys to explore the maps. Please do not report bugs in the test build.

Canton County only has one emergency on it, and the city map has none for now.
